60 fps codes

[el_rika]

would it be possible to get a patch for Shadow of the Colossus NTSC-U that forces the game to stay in its 30fps mode? its a dynamic framerate game that regularly switches in-game from 30fps to 60fps mode and vice versa which can be a jarring experience

Enable oph flag in hacks, and the game will stay at max. 30 fps. Also overclock to 180% so the game doesn't drop to 15 in certain scenarios anymore (or it will much less).

Amount of testing: Little

SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab SLUS-21391 0x82C46B7A
60 fps
21FAFC98 42700000

Search for 42700000(60.0) at main menu, then for 41F00000(30.0) during gameplay

I figured out in Creature from the Krusty Krab, there is a small icon in the corner that blinks if you are close to a collectable, which never shows up with the 60 fps hack on.

Incomplete code(s)

Bully SLUS-21269 0x28703748
60 fps
005E1054 00000001

This code isn't working. This one does:  patch=1,EE,005E1054,word,00000000

Hi Felix, would it be possible to get a patch for Shadow of the Colossus that does the reverse of this? that is, lock the framerate to 30fps so the game never engages its demanding 60fps mode dynamically

You disabled the option to send you a private message so I will answer you here

If you want to play this game at 30fps there are other options than a hack.

1. The ps3 version is locked at 30fps.
2. Try to Increase EE Cycle skipping or decrease EE Cycle rate.
3. You can also install reshade on pcsx2.
there is a shade that can force the game to show a lower frame rate

just open notepad copy what is in the spoilers save it as "FX" file load reshade and set the frame rate to 30fps.

thanks for the tip but it still goes above 30 with oph flag hack

This is really surprising to hear.

The oph flag hack is a classic fps limiter trick for Sotc. For me, it works perfectly in both NTSC and PAL, limiting the fps to either 30 or 25 max.

Maybe something changed in newer versions.

As a last resort, if other suggested options fail,  you can change the NTSC max fps from 59.94 to 30, and the game will run at 30. However, some cutscenes are broken.

Note: Battle animations are double-speed, so I made revert to 30fps hack during battle
It doesn't affect the ring system which is at normal speed at 60fps

Notes: Special battle animations Like Fusion Animations are cut in half it doesn't affect gameplay and I think it's an improvement due to how tedious it is to keep watching them every single time, but I added the option to go back to 30fps when they happen.

Edit: The user eisra discovered a crash during one of the cutscenes, So I updated the code, now it's working

First thanks for the ptaches SH2 works great also the cutscneses except for the double speed in battle it looks great ,but Sh3 has some problems like is can freeze some cutscenes and it doesnt work for cutscenes

When you say Cutscenes do you mean FMV (pre-rendered video) or in-game cutscenes (the game render the cutscenes)

Either way, can you send me a save file where it happens?

No I mean normal cutscene like the one after Shania gets her 2nd Fusion Tatanka after the FMV I didnt play further you could check it in the theater if you have clear data of the game .I could send it but where ? I could upload it to google drive
